Big living space
I hosted a hen do at Eleanor’s using all three buildings put together to fit in 16 of us. The main house has a big enough living space to socialise and we all fitted around the dining table. It did mean that the four people on the sofa beds had to share their space but we were expecting that! The pool and hot tub got lots of use, we brought our own inflatables and had a lazy time. The public bus into Bath is very easy and we went for a lovely high tea at the pump rooms. I can recommend that!

Spacious accommodation. Worked out very well for our large group visiting the Uk for cricket World Cup. Very comfortable stay. Way access to Bath and other area visiting sites.

Great setting for a big group, split nicely between three different buildings. Hot tub and pool are a dream, and the huge dining space too! Would thoroughly recommend.

14 of us had a great stay last weekend at Elle’s for my friend’s hen do. The position is great for Bath, and Box is a beautiful village. Elle was super helpful in the run up to our stay answering my many questions, and baked bread for us too! The hot tub, pool table and communal areas were all brilliant for a big group. Thanks Elle!

A fantastic venue for a big group of people. Brilliant large socialising space and a great kitchen for cooking. All the accommodation seemed newly refurbed and was very clean. If you have 10-16 people in your party try and car share as there isn’t a huge amount of room on the drive although it didn’t cause us any problems and the host was very relaxed about us parking cars wherever they fit. A great stay.
